Forecasts

Annaf (6/5), Vadream (7/2), Diligent Harry (4/1), Summerghand (9/1), Exalted Angel (11/1), Fivethousandtoone (25/1), King Of Bavaria (40/1), Strong Power (50/1), One Night Stand (80/1), Epsom Faithfull (100/1)

ANNAF was well on top at the finish when winning at Kempton last time and he should take the beating. Veteran Summerghand is an obvious danger and Diligent Harry merits respect.
